Autumn 06 Fire Safety Legislation Seminars

Oct 16, 2006

England

After a few false dawns – not untypical with any substantial new legislation and especially one that amends or repeals more than 100 pieces of existing legislation – The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order came into force on 1st October 2006 – for England and Wales, and simultaneously, in Scotland, new legislation has been brought in as of the 1st October through Part 3 of the Fire (Scotland) Act.

Delegates will get the opportunity to refresh their skills using a fire extinguisher during the live fire demonstration
